Good
evening my loves! So for those of you who are residences in Pretoria you’ve
probably already been swept up by the Starbucks hurricane? That’s right, Pretoria
now has its very own Starbucks – Yippee!
This world renowned
coffee shop opened up in the new shopping centre ‘Menlyn Maine’ in the East of
Pretoria on the Wednesday the 21st of September. We made sure we
made it through the crowds on opening day and I really cannot say we were disappointed
by our first encounter. When we arrived we were greeted by a very intimidating line but what else could we have expected?! Being first timers we had
no idea what their menu entailed BUT we were greeted by a lovely young woman who
discussed various options with us, they even cater for tea loves like me
#Impressed.

My sister
being the total coffee lover that she is felt right at home with a menu filled
with everything from a strong Americano to the usual cappuccino – yum. Once we
had finally made a decision we were then attended to by a gentleman who took
our orders and wrote our names on the ever so popular Starbucks cups...
Needless to say we were really excited...
It felt
like we were in the coffee shop scene from ‘Miss Congeniality’- that’s how
packed the place was at the time. After waiting 30minutes from start to finish
we finally had our coffee’s in hand, yay! Both my mom and sister indulged Mocha
and Caramel Frappuccino’s and I very much enjoyed my Chai Tea, cinnamon lovers,
I highly recommend it! Also, can we please just take a moment to drool over the delicious looking baked goods... Good grief, I think I'll treat myself to a chocolate chip cookie next time ;)

| YUM! |
All in all
our first experience at Starbucks was a great one and I definitely think we will
be going back sooner than I’d like to admit...
I’d love to
hear all about your experiences at Starbucks and what you’d recommend for our
next visit
